What is the life of Kenyan women like? In Kenya, like many African countries, a deep paradox has been created. Kenyan women enjoy the benefits of modern life, yet their lives are largely determined by customary law. Although the majority of Kenyan women do not live in traditional society, they are still perceived within their traditional roles. Modern society has different requirements than the traditional ones, however only the segment of -self-confident and informed citizens are aware of their rights and are able to assert their rights. While women compose the majority of the Kenyan population (52%) and play an active role in the development of the whole society, Kenya still continues to remain a deep patriarchal society with a very low regard of the status of women. Women in Kenya are unequal and under-privileged in most areas of their lives. This situation is propounded by the current legal and political system, as well as by prevailing socio-cultural factors. The dissertation examines the different roles of the Kenyan woman - as a daughter, a wife and a mother. The main philosophical ideology which the African society is based upon is the continuation of life and keeping the patrilineal lineage where dead ancestors play the same role as children born to the family. It is presumed that women who play an...

Die motivering vir die studie was die leemte aan en behoefte vir navorsing oor dubbelloopbaanhuwelike en tussenrolkonflik in Suid-Afrika. Die doelstelling was om vas te stel of daar 'n verband tussen tussenrolkonflik en werkstevredenheid by egpare in dubbelloopbaanhuwelike bestaan, en of eggenotes in sodanige huwelike tussenrolkonflik en werkstevredenheid verskillend ervaar. 'n Teoretiese ondersoek oor tussenrolkonflik en werkstevredenheid is gedoen. Die empiriese ondersoek het bestaan uit die meting van hierdie veranderlikes met behulp van Tussenrolkonflik- en Behoeftebevredigingsvraelyste. Die resultate toon aan dat daar geen statisties beduidende verbande tussen die veranderlikes bestaan nie. Daar bestaan ook geen statisties beduidende verskille tussen mans en vroue in dubbelloopbaanhuwelike ten opsigte van hul ervaring van tussenrolkonflik en werkstevredenheid nie. Die studie dra by tot 'n beter begrip van tussenrolkonflik in dubbelloopbaanhuwelike, en toon aan dat die Tussenrolkonflikvraelys betroubare resultate in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks kan lewer. Die resultate toon egter dat wyer, meer gesofistikeerde navorsing belangrik is. / In order to fill the gap in existing research on the topic, this study was undertaken to establish whether a relationship exists between interrole conflict and job satisfaction in married couples with full time careers, and whether these couples experience interrole conflict and job satisfaction differently. A theoretical study regarding interrole conflict and job satisfaction was undertaken. In the empirical study these variables were measured using Need Satisfaction and lnterrole Conflict Questionnaires. No statistically significant relationships were found between interrole conflict and job satisfaction; and no statistically significant differences exist between men and women with regard to their experience of job satisfaction and interrole conflict. The research contributes towards a better understanding of interrole conflict in dual career marriages, and indicates that the lnterrole Conflict Questionnaire can deliver reliable results in the South African context. However, the results show the importance of wider, more sophisticated research. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / MCOM (Bedrysielkunde)

Está associado a altos índices de mortes no trânsito, perda de emprego, conflitos e violência intrafamiliar, entre outros problemas. Quando se trata de alcoolismo feminino, em geral, a mulher é mais intensamente marginalizada e estigmatizada tanto na família quanto na sociedade e nos serviços de saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivos: (1) investigar as práticas de cuidados desenvolvidas à mulher alcoolista no âmbito de sua família; (2) conhecer a percepção desta mulher acerca dos cuidados de seus familiares. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório que utilizou como referencial teórico os conceitos de cuidado, ser humano e cuidado familial de Elsen (2004), Leininger (1991) e Waldow (2008). Participaram do estudo três famílias, nas quais havia pelo menos uma mulher alcoolista, usuárias de um CAPS ad, localizado em um município do extremo sul do Brasil. A coleta de dados ocorreu no período entre agosto e setembro de 2008, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, realizadas no domicilio da família com a mulher alcoolista e seu principal cuidador. Após, os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que as práticas de cuidado desenvolvidas no âmbito da família modificam-se ao longo do tempo na medida em que o alcoolismo evoluía. Cuidados básicos relacionados à higiene, alimentação, sono, repouso, integridade física, moral e auto-estima foram praticados nas três famílias, embora nem sempre as mulheres os tenha percebido como práticas de cuidado. Destaca-se o apoio da rede social nas três famílias representada pelos parentes próximos, vizinhos e amigos, especialmente nos períodos de maiores conflitos familiares. Também, o suporte da rede de serviços sociais e de saúde, utilizados pela família para cuidar principalmente em situações de urgência e emergência decorrentes das situações de embriaguez da mulher. Nestas ocasiões, os cuidados dispensados às mulheres eram por elas percebidos como prática punitiva e retaliadora. Os resultados desse estudo reafirmam que, apesar dos constantes conflitos familiares vivenciados ao longo da evolução do alcoolismo da mulher, os cuidados familiares são importantes para o resgate dos vínculos afetivos e o respeito à singularidade de cada ser humano que vivencia o problema do alcoolismo. / Alcoholism is a serious public health problem in Brazil that affects men and women of all ages, social classes, regardless of race or religion. It is associated with high rates of traffic deaths, job losses, conflicts and domestic violence, among others. When it comes to alcoholism in women, in general, women are more intensely stigmatized and marginalize either by their family or society and health service. This study aimed to: (1) investigate the practices of care developed in the alcoholic woman in her family, (2) understand the perception of this woman about caring for her family. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory studying which used theoretical concepts of care, human and family care by Leininger (1991), Elsen (2004) and Waldow (2008). Three families were participating which in each of them there was at least one female alcoholic, users of an ad CAPS, located in a country in Southern Brazil. Data collection occurred between August and September 2008, through semi-structured home interviews with the family of an alcoholic woman and her primary caregiver. Later, the data were subjected to content analysis. The results show that the care practices developed within the family are modified over time as alcoholism evolves. Basic care related to hygiene, food, sleep, rest, physical integrity, morality and self-esteem were applied to three families, though not all women have them perceived as care practices. We highlight the social network support in the three families represented by relatives, neighbors and friends, especially during periods of greater family conflict. Also, the network support of social service and health used by the family to take care especially in emergency situations an emergency situations arising from drunken woman events. On the occasions, the treatment provided to women was perceived as punitive and retaliatory practice. The results of this study reaffirm that, in spite of constant family conflict experienced during the evolution of women’s alcoholism, family concerns are important to the redemption of the bonds of affection and respect for the uniqueness of each human being who experiences the problem of alcoholism. / El alcoholismo es un grave problema de salud pública en Brasil que alcanza hombres y mujeres de todas las edades, clases sociales, independiente de raza o religión.
